The changes of the grammar in Swedish with adverbs of time.
Hellow,
Well I am really confused with the changes in the grammar in swedish when adverbs of time appear. I will explain it with some sentences, because I do tones of mistakes related with this stuff because I do not understand it at all.
1- Jag läser en bok nu.
2- Nu läser jag en bok.
3- Jag läser nu en bok.
In the first one is simple , Subject + verb because the adverb is at the end.
In the second one, the adverb is at the beginning so the grammar changes in this way adv+Verb+ subject.
And in the last one the adverb appears after the verb that why it does not change the grammar.
If what I said is right, I don't understand why this sentences are wrong: "Jag skulle resa till Australien i övermorgon men tyvärr jag har inte pengar nu."
Why for be correct is "tyvärr har jag inte pengar nu." if "nu" is at the end?
The same problem with "idag jag lär mig svenska" I think it should be "Idag lär jag mig svenska" or with the adverb at the end "Jag lär svenska på mig idag.
I forgot, thanks in advance for your time :)

The second clause "men tyvärr jag har inte pengar nu." is wrong. If you begin clause with "tyvärr" (satsadverbial sv.) after it must be placed predicate (verb) and then subject. It should be "men tyvärr har jag inte pengar nu." or "men jag har tyvärr inte pengar nu"
You are right that it should be "Idag lär jag mig svenska". I've missed it
